These sounded so good... They were definitely juicy, but all I could taste was the Jack Daniels. My husband LOVES whiskey, especially Jack, and even he said it was over powering. I gave this recipe 3 stars because we are going to try them again, only next time with less whiskey. Hopefully they will turn out better

So Good! I had to alter a bit since I had pre-formed hamburger patties (left over from a huge party). Rather than adding to the hamburger then forming the patties, I simply marinated them for 60 minutes then brushed more 'sauce' on during the cooking The only change to ingrediants I made was to use minced garlic rather than powdered, I also used a seasoning blend that I make during the grilling.

My Hubby said you could really taste the alchol. These burger were moist but pretty bland. Won't make these again.

Combination of beer and whiskey is not to my taste

Made this with some Killian's and Grant's Scotch whiskey. We also used diced fresh onion instead of powder which adds a nice little crunch. My wife said it is the best homemade burger she's ever had and that it rivals most nice restaurant burgers. I have no complaints, I just gave it 4 of 5 because it was really good and juicy, but there wasn't anything over the top, just a really great burger recipe. I made 1/4 lb patties about 3/8-1/2" thick and cooked them at about 350 for 7-9 minutes. The 7-8 minute mark seemed to be ideal. The last two that stayed on an extra minute or two were a little more dry, but that goes for any burgers, not just these.

I've been trying recipe after recipe to find the "perfect hamburger" that my husband would love - this one was it!

These burgers taste just like the ones I used to get at my favorite burger joint in Austin, Dirty Martin's. Be sure to cook them through or they'll taste alcoholic; when you cook off the alcohol it's insanely delicious.

Adjusted this for about 2lbs of ground beef and added a touch more whiskey (after all, I was making this for my man! :D ). Turned out to be the best burgers we've had yet. I made them thick and big and he still had 2 AND put 2 more away to take to work tomorrow! Definitely strong compliments coming from him. Will be making these for him again. They were also a hit with my grandparents. My parents are upset they didn't get invited! The whiskey adds a little bit of a bite to the burger, and the beer helps make them nice and juicy, even if you prefer yours more on the well-done side. I used Karl Strauss Amber Lager. These will be a fun summer hit for sure!

These burgers were moist and juicy. Mixed all the ingredients and let sit in the fridge for about 4 hours. Washn't crazy with the flavor. I'll keep looking for better recipes.
